I think that’s why I tend to be drawn to family dramas with a twisted sense of humor. This month, my IRL book club… Read more »
Salutations, Bookworms! Let’s talk about Jane Austen. I love her to pieces, but she only wrote six novels and a handful of short stories. Six novels! What is one to do once one has finished ALL THE AUSTEN? I have good news for you, my fellow Austen-ites. There are a lot of other Austen nerds. Austen nerds who… Read more »
